Harry Potter Wiki:Blocking policy

rdfs:comment

Blocking is the means by which an administrator prevents a user account or IP address/range from editing the Harry Potter Wiki. Blocks are preventive rather than punitive measures used to prevent damage by dealing with vandalism and enforcing Harry Potter Wiki policies. Block duration may vary, depending on the severity and longevity of vandalism, but in most instances a block can be lifted if the editor agrees to stop the damaging behaviour.

Blocking is the means by which an administrator prevents a user account or IP address/range from editing the Harry Potter Wiki. Blocks are preventive rather than punitive measures used to prevent damage by dealing with vandalism and enforcing Harry Potter Wiki policies. Block duration may vary, depending on the severity and longevity of vandalism, but in most instances a block can be lifted if the editor agrees to stop the damaging behaviour. All users may post block requests at the Harry Potter Wiki:Requests for administrator attention, on the talk pages of the various HPW Administrators, or on the IRC channel. Because of the dynamic nature of IPs, and the related risk of collateral damage, most blocks should be in the range of 24 hours to 1 month, with exceptions noted below. Only in very rare cases should non-proxy IPs be blocked for more than three months. When considering blocking, it is important to remember the axiom "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity" — article blanking or addition of fanon may be just a well-meant attempt to remove inaccurate information or expand the encyclopedia. Always assume good faith, but remember that the rules apply to everyone equally.
